Circa: 1892Manufacturer: Globe Bible Publishing Company

Original book page which shows a photograph with a paragraph of descriptive copy, from the 1892 edition of "Shepp's Photographs of the World". This book was arranged and explained by James W. Shepp and Daniel B. Shepp, sold by subscription only, and published by Globe Bible Publishing Company, Chicago, Ill. and Philadelphia, Penna. Not a reproduction, but page from an antique original issue of this 1892 book (we guarantee this), with an antique photograph print on one side of the page with the reverse side blank. The old book covers were in very bad shape, so we removed the good pages and are selling them separately/priced each.

This antique black & white book page photo print is a view of Dublin, Ireland, with a paragraph describing some of the history of Dublin and mentions that this is a view of Sackville Street, "one of its principal thoroughfares". This is page #17 from the book (the page number appears in small print under the paragraph of copy).

Vintage black & white photograph, on full page measuring about 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. We have scanned the actual book print page into our computer so you can see the condition. Please note, however, because this is a scan and not a photograph of the page, if you click on the option to look at a "close-up" version, the system shows the book page with all kinds of weird lines on the photo that do not exist when you see this in person. Unfortunately, we do not know of a way to correct that....the non-close-up image of the book page is a true representation of the page itself....it looks as one would expect a printed photo to look on a book page.

The antique page itself is an off white/ivory aged color. There is a rough edge where the page was separated from the rest of the book and significant paper tear/paper remains (including a hole) along the top of the page in the margin area which looks like it came from an initial separation of the page from the one which would have been prior to it in the book. As you can see in the image, there is also a large vertical red area along the left side of the page in the margin area that could be some remains from the binding of the book (it doesn't look like tape to us but we don't know exactly what this is). There is also some staining in the right margin area along the outer edge, lots of wrinkling/creasing/small page tears along the bottom edge in the margin, some slight wrinkling/slight page creasing, a bit of other outer edge chipping and tiny edge tears, and other expected minor handling wear for a book page. But we believe all this could be easily covered with matting and/or not be noticeable if this piece were to be framed.

We are listing other book photographs from Ireland and many other places around the world. Please see our other individual listings. A neat piece to add to a collection related to Ireland or the United Kingdom, or a collection centering on Dublin in particular. Would also just look nice framed and hanging on a wall.
